My current Russia campaign is very interesting. In an attempt to get at thosse Poles and Hungarians I've taken on an interesting role. You see... the Poles and Hungarians were crusadeing out east like they always do and I really wanted to punish thosse Poles so.. I made an alliance with the Egyptians. Then I asked them very polietly for a tiny castle called Aleppo with the promise I'd punish thosse crusaders. It was very nice. Came fully furnished and with some local Turcopules.

Well. An Idea came to me.. why not play a world policing game? Lol. I will try to keep countries from getting to big... extinct or any other variety of international meddling that makes me happy. So currently.. aside from my "international aid" to Egypt I am now fighting an expanded Portugal to give back Cordoba to the Moors. Aside from being the country everyone loves or hates at the moment you get to fight with allies a lot more and lol you get a change in scenery! The steepe kinda get's drab after a while. And being able to fight somewheres without snow during winter is a good break lol. And like that last battle... ahh.. It's great to have horse archers in Iberia.
